Both formats, briefly
BMPIN
BMP writes pixels to disk almost exactly as they are, with no compression to undo. Files get large quickly, which is why you rarely meet one on a web page, but nothing is approximated and any Windows program can read it. It shows up in older Windows software, in scanner and screen capture output, and wherever a tool wants raw pixel data with no decoding step. Convert to PNG to keep the same quality in a fraction of the space.
EXROUT
EXR was developed at Industrial Light & Magic for images that hold more range than a screen can display. Pixel values are 16 or 32 bit floating point, so a highlight can be recorded far above white and pulled back later in the grade. One file can also carry many channels at once, such as depth, motion vectors and separate render passes, which is why compositing and CGI pipelines work in it. Convert to PNG or JPG when the frame simply needs to be looked at.
